Do you watch TV on the Internet?I recently moved from North Carolina to the northern Virginia area. Just prior to the move my TV bit the dust. When I moved into my new home I had to make a decision: Buy a new TV, or not?
I opted not to get a new TV. I have been traveling quite a bit and didn't want to shell out two thousand dollars for the TV and another hundred bucks monthly for the cable service, only to not watch it.
I typically don't watch much TV, but I do like to watch sports on the weekends and some reality shows (I've been known to get sucked into Saturday Deadliest Catch marathons).
So, when I feel the urge to watch TV, or a movie, I have been resorting to the Internet. Most of what I want to watch is actually available on the Internet (it's still pretty hard to get streaming sports on the Internet, though).
I don't really miss not having the TV option. In fact, I find not having the TV option frees up a lot of time for more "constructive" things.
I think, eventually, we are all going to be watching TV in some form through the Internet. How about you?
